webcam/mouse conflict



Hey folks,
First, thanks to all who help on this list.  It is much appreciated by all.

Have run into a problem and don't know to whom to report it.

Running Wheezy. Have wireless Logitech mouse. Have usb style webcam of offbrand type but it has worked fine before so the driver is recognized and works.

Have installed both Cheese and guvcview(gnome's webcam prog) and things work OK except somehow control of the mouse is grabbed and it makes use of the mouse very "iffy" in that I can move the mouse but it takes forever to get it to do anything. It will finally do what I ask of it whether to move or accept mousecliks, but somehow whatever is allowing video is grabbing IO control from the mouse.

Both Cheese and guvcview have worked just fine previously w. this webcam and a usb mouse so I know that part works. Question is who should I send a bug report to as this has been this way for about 2-3 weeks now and I had hoped it would have been corrected by now.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Whit
